The dissipation of the energy of -radiation in polyvinyl
chloride has been analyzed. The change in the properties
of polyvinyl chloride under the action of -particles with
an energy of 2.32 MeV has been characterized using the
potentials of intermolecular and intramolecular interactions
and the Bohr potential. The interrelation between certain
micro- and macroproperties of polyvinyl chloride was determined
and methods of their control with the use of -radiation were
developed.
